Abstract

Let $G$ be a reductive group and let $\check{G}$ be its Langlands dual. We give an interpretation of the dynamical Weyl group of $\check{G}$ defined in \cite{EV} in terms of the geometry of the affine Grassmannian $\Gr$ of $G$. In this interpretation the dynamical parameters of \cite{EV} correspond to equivariant parameters with respect to certain natural torus acting on $\Gr$. We also present a conjectural generalization of our results to the case of affine Kac-Moody groups.
